The “Pub Casino” slot is a classic 3-reel, single-payline game that embodies the spirit of traditional pubs with their charm, camaraderie, and of course, games of chance. Developed by Microgaming, one of the leading software providers in the online gaming industry, this slot offers an entertaining experience for both new and seasoned players.
Design and Theme
At first glance, it is clear that “Pub Casino” has been designed to resemble a classic British pub. The game’s backdrop features a cozy, dimly lit room filled with wooden register now accents, stained glass windows, and rows of beer barrels. The symbols on the reels reflect this theme, including various beers, bottles, pints, and even a few playing card values (9-A). Overall, the design is simple yet effective in setting the tone for an immersive gaming experience.
Symbols and Payouts
The standard reel set consists of 5 symbols: three types of beer-related icons (each paying out up to x25), two playing card values (x4 and x2.50 respectively), and a Wild symbol, which acts as a substitute for all other symbols except the Scatter icon.
Here’s a brief rundown of each symbol’s payout potential:
- Beer Barrel (leftmost reel only): 5, 10, or 20 coins
- Pint Glass: 3, 7.50, or 15 coins
- Bottle (only on left and middle reels): 2.50, 6, or 12 coins
Wilds
The Wild symbol in “Pub Casino” is represented by a large pint glass with the word “WILD” emblazoned across it. This icon can appear on any of the three reels (top to bottom) and replaces all other symbols except for Scatter icons.
When multiple Wilds land on an active line, their winnings are summed together before applying payout multipliers based on reel position (x2 or x3 multiplier applied in this order):
- Middle left: 1st payline only
- Centre reels: both inner paylines apply
- Bottom right: all three paylines apply
Scatters
The Scatter icon, represented by a pair of crossed darts, triggers the game’s free spins feature. Scattering these icons across any two or more consecutive positions will award 5 to 15 bonus rotations depending on how many Scatters you land.
When activating this feature, note that payouts for each spin during Free Spins are doubled and all Scatter wins count towards total credits earned, but unfortunately, Wilds don’t appear here at their usual multipliers.
